Photography By a Fellow Runner

When you've trained this hard, the photos should mean this much.

As a Runner

I have been a runner for over 26 years.  I ran my first marathon when I was 13 years old and I have completed 4 triathlons.  I know what goes through participants' minds before the start, out on the course, while they are striding towards the finish, and after they have crossed the Finish Line. I know what it takes to prepare for that big race, and I know what is like to put everything I have into that big race.

As a Photographer

I use this knowledge to find the best locations and angles to capture the emotion and moments that make up an event.  I have seen people cut across the course to get in front of my camera.  I have seen people who had nothing left to give look up and smile when they saw me about to take their picture.

I have built my photographic system to specifically handle the requirements of race and event photography; from the advanced auto focus digital SLR cameras to the post processing computer.  This means I can turn around photos to the organizers and participants while the event is still fresh in their minds:  about 48 hours for organizers, and within 5 days for participants.
